ST. STEPHEN'S COLLEGE AND PRECONCEPT CREATE SCHOOL FOR LEGAL STUDIES


The St. Stephen's School for Legal Studies

The School for Legal Studies is the result of a collaborative effort 
by St. Stephen's College and Preconcept. The School is an innovative 
step in advancing practical legal training. The focus will be on 
legal management, including issues like managing litigation and 
commercial confrontation, managing an intellectual property portfolio 
in India and abroad and training managers and in-house counsel in 
working with external legal counsel. The School for Legal Studies is 
a research and learning centre for basic and advanced legal 
management. The School will not focus on traditional aspects like 
degree programmes and will instead focus on "practising law". The 
programmes whether taught courses or research projects will be based 
on ground level implementation of law and policy. The courses are 
structured and taught by practising legal professionals whether in 
professional service or in the Government. The Director, Rodney D. 
Ryder, emphasises that the School for Legal Studies would be at the 
forefront with "innovative legal education at the school level as 
well". "The School", he said, "would focus on Legal Novitiate 
Education with path breaking concepts such as how to be a good 
client". The unique aspect would be the industry - community 
interface and the concept of 'the law as strategy'.



The School for Legal Studies has Centres for Technology Law and 
Policy, Intellectual Property and Media Law Studies. During the 
present academic year (2004-2005), the School will conduct workshops 
and training programmes, such as 'Patent Law for Engineers', 'Brand 
Protection and Trademark Law for Marketers', 'Data Protection and 
Corporate Compliance' and 'Intellectual Property and the Art of War 
for the Sales Team'.



This year, the School has introduced diploma courses, such as: 
'Internet Law and Policy' and 'Intellectual Property: Law, Practice 
and Management.'

[a]            Internet Law and Policy [a course in cyberspace law 
and practice]

The topics in the course cover the most pervasive and general forms 
of regulation that can affect most types of transactions, 
publications and other interactions in cyberspace.  The legal content 
of the course is based on the laws of India, considered in its 
international context.

[b]            Intellectual Property: Law, Practice and Management

This course aims to provide an introduction to the law, economics and 
management of Intellectual Property (IP) and innovation for those 
whose future career may involve the management of IP and innovation. 
It is intended for those for whom Intellectual Property will play an 
important role in their work.
